Apad 19

[bardiphouka]

There was a time if time
could realities as well as the
scents and fabric rustles that
perhaps there would have been
the glistening of light
off semiprecious stones as
if nature had been preparing
for the beauty of that one's eyes
in the gathering of illumination

or preparing the the
hardness of that one's eyes,flint
shaded shallow pool of reflection.

I sip my coffee and keep an
ear on the music while I
follow them both, life as an
observer gives a certain
neutrality.

Or has, I know their names by
now, some of their dreams have
begun the slow process of
becoming part of the canvas.
